Heidi's 9 months!

Heidi is: -17 lbs and in the 25th percentile for height and weight. She's a petite little girl. -still not a great sleeper. The past month has been interesting, to say the least. Until three nights ago, she would wake an average of four times a night. I've tried everything...closing her door, turning up her sound machine, changing the sound on her machine, letting her cry it out, rocking her, feeding her, patting her back. Nothing seemed to work. Until I finally decided to try Tylenol before bed because I think she may be getting all four top teeth at once. She only woke once that night, but the nights since she's been waking twice, which is normal for her. I'll take that, though, because it's predictable and I know that at some point she'll start sleeping through the night. -teething. Two teeth on bottom and top side tooth. I expect to see the other top teeth anytime now. -still in love with her sister. I love watching them play and giggle at each other. Heidi especially loves playing chase. She will turn around to see if you're chasing her and then wheel around to crawl away, laughing hysterically. -standing on her own for a few seconds. -walking along furniture and while holding someone's hand. -eating mostly only the food we eat, cut into small pieces. When I try to feed her with a spoon she swats it away and flings food all over the place. She loves blueberries, avacado, string cheese, and grilled chicken. She's still nursing every four hours, too. -trying to use the sippy cup to drink water. -taking naps around 9 and 1:00. -in love with the Minnie Mouse doll my sister got her for Christmas. I often find her hugging it while asleep. -very, very, very active. The girl is only still when she's asleep. -saying momma while she follows me around the house. Almost one year old. How did that happen so quickly? It seems like I should still be pregnant with Ansley, still be carrying our first daughter. The last three years have been a blur and I cannot believe that I'll soon be 28 years old with two daughters, three and one. It's incredible to think about the way the Lord has blessed me beyond what I could have asked Him for. I can't wait to see what He has in store for us in years to come.
